"One Big Happy Family"

A Sea of Players Fill the Amazon Room
A Sea of Players Fill the Amazon Room
This was the term used by a tournament director to describe Day 3, when all remaining players will be playing under the same roof, at the same time. For those not keeping track, "Day 3" is actually Day 7. Despite the massive size of the Amazon Room and the hard work put in by the staff, the facilities here at the Rio simply cannot handle the exponential growth this tournament has seen in recent years.

The idea of "Multiple Day Ones" was dismissed as "absurd" less than a decade ago, but is now a necessary reality that has become part of the norm. The only question these days is "How many Day 1's and 2's will there be?" It will be quite interesting to see the future of this tournament in years to come, with the idea of multiple properties already on the table.
